hi I'm NASA Kennedy's Tristan Mon burn

taking you inside KSC

3
00:00:11,509 --> 00:00:08,849
a critical piece of hardware is now in

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:11,519
place on NASA's Parker Solar Probe the

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:12,960
heat shield will protect the spacecraft

6
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:15,210
from temperatures of up to 2,500 degrees

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:17,310
Fahrenheit when it flies directly into

8
00:00:21,529 --> 00:00:19,050
the sun's atmosphere during its upcoming

9
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:21,539
mission to kiss the Sun the Parker Solar

10
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:23,400
Probe is slated to launch on the United

00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:29,880
Canaveral Air Force Station in the

14
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:32,160
coming weeks it will travel within 4

15
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:34,320
million miles of our Sun surface to

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:36,630
unlock 60 years of unsolved mysteries

17
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:39,450
surrounding the Sun's corona critical

18
00:00:43,549 --> 00:00:41,460
activities are ongoing at Kennedy and

19
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:43,559
preparation for Orion's ascent abort to

20
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:46,739
flight test in April of 2019 the Orion

21
00:00:50,930 --> 00:00:48,690
spacecraft is being built to take humans

22
00:00:51,549 --> 00:00:50,940
to explore beyond the moon and on to

23
00:00:55,069 --> 00:00:51,559
Mars

24
00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:55,079
Orion's launch abort system or la s can

25
00:00:58,610 --> 00:00:56,670
propel the crew module away from the

26
00:01:00,260 --> 00:00:58,620
rocket within milliseconds if a

27
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:00,270
life-threatening event arises during

28
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:03,359
launch at Kennedy pathfinding operations

29
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:05,129
are helping to ensure the effectiveness

00:01:10,399 --> 00:01:08,250
of the crew escape system the April 2019
